Villa Paola – Tropea VV – Italy

Bunches of African blue lilies inundate the senses with their delicate perfume.

Cascading scarlet bougainvilleas adorn the terraces overlooking the sea and run down the rocky paths.

Only the soft gurgle of the fountains interrupts the mystic silence that for more than four hundred years envelopes the walls of the Villa Paola Hotel.

The Villa Paola was renovated from an old convent dating back to 1543 run by Minimi monks and dedicated to San Francesco da Paola. The hotel offers eleven designer rooms that are refined and harmonious providing the utmost in relaxation. There is also a scenographic pool on the peak overlooking the Costa Degli Dei.
